On My Repeat... All of Glee's Songs


Ok I love Glee like most people (except for my brother, but whatever to him, it's his loss). I love Glee because whatever mood you are in there is a song for that.

Such as, if you are feeling alone, you have Finn singing "I'll Stand By You." Or if you are crushing on your teacher you have Mr. Shoe saying, "Don't Stand To Close To Me." Or you don't want anyone to rain on your parade then you have Rachel that you can sing along with.

So whatever you are feeling and need a pick me up song or a comfort song, I am sure that Glee has something for you.

Grandma Lola

Today is my Grandmother's birthday. I would love to tell you how old she would be if she was still alive but the truth is that I don't know how old she would be. My guess would be about 87, but I am sure that as I write this, she is looking down from Heaven cursing me out because I am thinking of her older then she would really be.

To celebrate the birth of my wonderful Grandma Lola, my family, held a birthday party in her honor. Where we filled ourselves with her favorite foods which is roast beef, potatoes, corn and green jello with pineapples in it. Then for dessert was tapioca pudding and sheet cake. It was all delicious and make me wish for a taste of her cooking again. (And if we were to have done a breakfast birthday party it would have been orange juice and frozen blueberry waffles.)
Then before ending the night we pulled out the Triominos, her favorite game. I was about to pull out twister too, but realized that I gave that game away when I stopping being good at it which was about 6th grade.

I loved my Grandma, and will make sure that she will never be forgotten by me or any later generation because every December 28th there will be a Grandma Lola Birthday party where we honor her birth.

On My Repeat... Smile


I have always loved the song Smile by Charlie Chaplin, because one; the words are amazing and two; it is hard to think of Chaplin being sad enough to cry, which makes the song all the more interesting.

I can't imagine Chaplin having pain and sorrow, and that must come from all his films where he was just a goofy guy and nothing kept him down. I also think it was the no talking thing.

So when Glee was going to do his song I was nervous about how it would turn it, I mean would it become some sort of rapish song where they lose the turn sentiment of the song. But all my worrying was for nothing because once I herd it I was in love. So download it and listen to it when your heart is aching, or there are clouds in the sky.
